Mobile Apps to Earn Money

Online money making has come a long way from when I started. Back in the day, myself and the many unskilled people that found themselves in this world were restricted to a selection of low-paying opportunities from a handful of companies. As time went on and I got more skilled up, more things opened up for those with just fundamental computer skills to earn a little extra. Now we all have the chance to go this from our phones.

Below I’ll go through my favourite UK mobile apps to make money. While I haven’t used all of them (as some of them don’t suit me) all of them are ones that have been used and loved in my household (as my partner’s in this game too).

Surveys

Most people probably enter their online money making journeys through surveys, so it’s only right that I kick off with the best apps of that strain on the market today.

Outdoor Tasks

Should you want to, you can spend your weekends travelling around your nearest city completing a range of tasks. Mystery shopping and market research on the go, taking you to pubs, restaurants and supermarkets, and rewarding you for your time and effort.

Field Agent: Scour the local area for jobs and pick up cash for all kinds of market research and mystery shopping tasks. iPhone.Android.

Roamler: For the roamers out there that don’t mind travelling to carry out all kinds of market research activities. iPhone.Android.

Spare5: Got a spare five minutes? Want to make that time pay. You’ve found just the app for you. iPhone.

Data Collection

Now we’re creeping into creepy territory. There are some apps that want pretty intimate knowledge of your mobile usage habits, and ensure that they break you off some cash (or gift cards) in return for your generosity.

MobileXpression: Set it up on your phone, sit back and earn points by the week. Sign up online.

Exercise

Some great ones have come and gone over the years, but these are the go-to apps that give you something for getting your muscles to work. If it’s an incentive to get you out and about, you need them in your life.

Receipts

Market research agencies up and down the country are desperate to find out what everyday people are buying on their weekly shops. This is your chance to let them know, and (sort of) get what you deserve for it.

Trade In

My blog began with some weightyposts about this very topic, so you better know that all of these apps have been on my phone from the point they created them. These are all scanner apps that simplify the process to find out whether you can trade your media (CDs, DVDs, games and books) for cash.

Ziffit: Trade in your books, DVDs, CDs and games for money. iPhone.Android.

Music Magpie: Trade in most of the above (CDs, DVDs and games) plus some electronics. iPhone. Android.
